Florence Willis
William & Florence, with the children - John & Olive at the back, with (L to R) David, Ruth, Rhoda, Mary and Billy. On the right is "Uncle Wally", and his wife, Minnie - Williams' sister. This picture was likely taken in Exeter in about 1932/3 - Esther was born there in 1933, and they were living at 35 West Grove Road, Exeter.
This is where William & Florence lived in China - taken in the winter snow. The child is probably John, taken about 1920/1
Florence with John & Ruth in China, about 1921/2
Florence & Stephen, taken in China in 1937
Again, Florence & Stephen
This is Stephen, with (I think) William's Mother, Agnes Clara. (She looks just like Williams Sister, Lily, as I remember her, but is too old to be her) According to the 1881 census, she was born in 1860, so would be about 78 years old here

Florence
The Grave of Florence in Bedford, dated 1894 - 1974, noted on the headstone as "Jane Willis". This picture was taken by Stephen; he got the right grave, but it was a mystery where the name "Jane" came from. As far as we knew her full name was "Florence Elizabeth Willis" - until I got her Marriage Certificate... It's an interesting tale that I've related HERE
